Man Utd has made their final decision about Bruno Fernandes leaving this summer, despite transfer interest from Galatasaray.
Bruno Fernandes had an amazing season for Manchester United in the Premier League last year, setting a new record with 21 assists—the most by any player in a single season.
Since joining Old Trafford in January 2020, the Portuguese star has been a key player for the Red Devils, winning the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award five times.
Although it seemed clear that Michael Carrick would want to keep the 2026 Premier League Player of the Year with the team for the next season, there were still rumors about Fernandes leaving Manchester. Clubs like Galatasaray, Juventus, and AC Milan were all reportedly interested in signing him, hoping he could help them win trophies.
As these teams prepared their offers, Manchester United made their position clear. According to the BBC, the club won’t sell the 31-year-old player for any price this summer.
This firm decision comes after last summer’s situation, when United gave Fernandes the choice to accept a big offer from Saudi Pro League’s Al Hilal. That experience reportedly hurt him, so the club wants to avoid that mistake with their captain.
Right now, Fernandes has just one year left on his current contract with an option for another season. He wants to stay at Old Trafford, but no new deal has been signed yet.
The no-sell decision became clearer when the Telegraph reported that Galatasaray is planning a big offer to bring Fernandes to Turkey. They’re ready to pay him double his current wages and are willing to offer around £43 million for the player because his contract ends next year.
While this is a tempting offer for Fernandes, Manchester United’s firm stance means fans can expect to see him leading the team against Hull City in the Premier League opener this Saturday.
